The article is an interim result of the research project of the humanities and social sciences of the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China for young scientists,
“Research of Folklore of Russian Nationality in the Ergun District of Inner Mongolia from the Point of View of Interethnic Interaction and Mutual Learning” (project number: 21YJC751015).

Body

This article is devoted to the intangible cultural heritage of the Chinese Russians in the Ergun District of Inner Mongolia, Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China. For the first time, it presents the entire list of Chinese- Russian cultural entities that have been recognized at city, provincial and state levels. Special attention is paid to folk songs and the practical work aimed at their preservation in the city of Erguna. This is an example of the implementation of modern Chinese cultural policy aimed both at uniting the Chinese nation and supporting ethnic and cultural diversity.
